Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,33, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: Ecuador and Venezuela, two Latin American OPEC member states, experienced a socioeconomic upheaval with the windfall petroleum revenues beginning in the 1970s.

Segreta come una setta, legata a misteriosi e antichissimi rituali, chiusa attorno al ristretto circolo dei suoi adepti, eppure potentissima, influente, organizzata, protagonista di clamorosi crack finanziari, morti misteriose e collusioni col mondo della politica e del grande capitale italiano, la massoneria è uno dei fenomeni più controversi e complessi del nostro tempo.
